We have been in an extreme heat for the past 5 days with temps feeling over 100F. My poor Basjoo's leaves are suffering a bit, even though it's been sheltered from the sun with an umbrella. It's in a rock bed which I know is making the heat worse so I've covered the surrounding area with sheets and it seems to have helped today. The pup I planted in the front rock bed is suffering a bit too, now especially that it's newly planted, can anyone suggest something I can do for it besides the obvious watering everyday? It's looking a bit yellow at the base and it's pup is too. It must be in shock from being removed and planted just before all this heat!

It's due to be fertilized so I'll add epsom salts too.
